Relax off the beaten path but close to conveniences! We are located within 8 miles to Maker’s Mark and Limestone Branch Distilleries, and 17 miles to Bardstown. We do live in the main house on the farm, detached and private from this unit. It makes us the perfect getaway for 2 adults! (This unit has a maximum capacity of 2 adults with no exceptions) We pride ourselves on making this affordable, beautiful property, the perfect choice for your bourbon adventure. Of special note: If you are looking to be close to town then this probably isn’t for you. We are about 3.5 miles to a grocery store and 10 miles to Lebanon which is the largest town in the area with a Walmart.
This area is remote and surrounded by woods, creeks, and ponds. We do our absolute best to keep pests away from the residence but, unfortunately, they get in from time to time. We also have chickens that roam around and 3 cats that love people and tend to be lacking in manners.
While the internet works great most all the time, this property is in the country, with very limited options for service, outages can happen and are completely beyond our control. If you MUST have internet for your stay, we suggest you take this into consideration. Refunds will not be given for internet outage.
We do allow one dog, under 50lbs, with a pet fee of $30.00 per stay. We ask that you crate the dog when away and not allow the dog on the furniture. This rental is not appropriate for children, and has an absolute maximum capacity of two adults with no exceptions.
If you are looking for a clean, peaceful, relaxing getaway with plenty privacy then this is for you.

This was a wonderful setting for a getaway. Other than being next door to the hosts, there is really no contact with other people. And the hosts do an excellent job of being available as needed and also giving you plenty of space. It's also a great place to get in some beautiful hill walking through cow country. I highly recommend!
We enjoyed our nice, quiet weekend in the country. We saw lots of cattle and a few deer. The hosts were great with communication. The little apartment was cute and comfortable. We were greeted by the cats every day, which is great because we miss ours when traveling. Maker’s Mark Distillery was only a few minutes drive.
Location is remote but very easy to find with GPS and very convenient to our destinations. Very clean, well equipped and well maintained rental. This is a very good rental!
This was absolutley perfect for my husband and I. Beautiful property and location. Even with it being close to the main house we still felt like we had tons of privacy. Loved the stray cats, the deer that greeted us almost everytime we left and returned. Thanks again for the wonderful stay.
This was an excellent stay. Kellie obviously takes great pride in hosting - everything was as pictured and in great condition. The space was great for 2 people. We enjoyed the seclusion and quiet. Yes, the property is a drive, but worth it for the quite and value! We had stayed in a similar property elsewhere and were concerned about the heat, but the heaters were great, and actually added to the ambiance!
We loved it! It was just what we needed to get away for a few days! The guesthouse was comfortable and inviting with many thoughtful details and amenities. The surrounding countryside of Raywick was beautiful! Thank you for a lovely stay!
My husband and I listed our home for sale and needed to be away for the weekend. We were also looking for a pet-friendly place, and this spot was perfect. It’s peaceful, tucked away from the busy areas, and we even saw some deer during our stay. One evening, the cats came by to visit us too, which was such a sweet touch. Highly recommend!
Thank you for choosing to stay with us again! Last time you gave us 5/5 rating just curious what we could have done different to achieve a 5 star. Feel free to send a personal message. Thanks for the feedback.
This place was off the beaten path in a great way! It was so scenic and we loved the peace and beauty. They had anything you could think of for your stay. It’s perfect for two people!
We loved this property. It was about 15-20 minutes from our activities in Bardstown and New Haven but the drives were scenic. Beautiful property in the country. Very peaceful with lots of nature surrounding. It was very cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

This was exactly what we were looking for. Nice quiet place away from things but still close to Bardstown. Having towels and a coffee pot was so nice too.

About the host
Hosted by Kelli and Jason Hardesty
We are a family of 4 that decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the city to return to our hometown 4 years ago. We purchased this farm and built our dream farmhouse on the property. We are both work in healthcare and appreciate the peace and tranquillity our small farm offers. We hope you love it like we do.
Why they chose this property
This property has been in my husband’s family for years and my husband grew up just down the road. He always loved the spot on the hill where we built our house.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy the peace and quiet of this property and being so close to our family and close life long friends
